Hormone modulation - A matter of common sense<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Study the basics here: https:\/\/icaro.med.br\/modulacao-hormonal\/<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some topics for you to consider (I ask you to pay special attention in this post to topic 2):<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1 - Why the name \u201cmodulation\u201d?\u201d<\/strong>
Because often correcting hormones means replacing them, but other times it's about reducing the amount of one or the other in the body or even giving the body the conditions and substances to produce or correct them. In other words: those who work well with hormones don't just aim to replace them, but often to encourage the body to produce them correctly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2 - Receivers<\/strong>
You can be flooded with hormones: if you don't have receptors where they can fit in and thus act, you can have inferior effects or not have them at all. That's why the same \u201cnumber\u201d in a hormone test result can mean insufficient for one patient, sufficient for another and even excessive for a third (or, in the same patient, at different times in their life, it can mean all three).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The number of receptors available and effectively free to \u201ccouple\u201d with their respective hormones can vary greatly over the course of a lifetime (not least because of the patient's lifestyle habits, toxins, endocrine disruptors, etc.), and this cannot be measured by tests. Hence the need for an experienced doctor to know how to relate the patient's clinical condition (and its evolution), their lifestyle habits, supplements or medications in use and their complete test results, and thus infer the quantity and quality of free receptors. Therefore, each patient is the combination of the objective and the subjective, of theory and practice, of what can be measured and what has to be carefully inferred for the patient's benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3 - Hormonal balance<\/strong>
Good levels of one or other hormone no<\/strong> guarantee health for anyone. Nor aesthetics or any other good, healthy result. Hormones interact with each other and with your body as a whole, and it is the balance of all of them that brings health and results. Anyone who only assesses and treats one or the other, when there are deficiencies in several others, may even harm the patient.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4 - If high hormone levels caused cancer, heart attacks, strokes and other serious illnesses, between the ages of 20 and 30 most of us would have these problems, since at this stage our hormones usually reach peak production and secretion levels.<\/strong> Once again, the key to safety is not the fear of modulating hormones, but the fear of incorrect modulation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5 - You're not just a \u201cwalking thyroid\u201d! Do you agree?<\/strong>
I often see patients in the office with countless complaints that \u201cno one has solved\u201d and, when I investigate, I discover that sometimes, in decades of health monitoring, only the thyroid hormones have been properly assessed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway, just a few insights on the subject... Comments?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
